COURSE COMMENTARY

Each candidate enrolled in this course has up to eight weeks to complete the course assessments. However, a candidate may elect to accelerate his/her course of study and finish the assessments at an earlier time without permission from the instructor.

Each assessment will be structured in a multiple choice format. The questions will be similar in nature to the Learning Check questions presented in the text at the end of each chapter (the first Learning Check appears on page 21) and review problems at the end of each chapter. While it is not required that the candidate submit answers to the learning check questions, it is recommended that the candidate reviews, as needed, the content as a means of adequate test preparation.

The content assessed in this course is not intended to be unnecessarily difficult. Rather, straightforward questions will be utilized on assessments to ensure a general understanding of the content.

Moreover, to ensure that the candidate assimilates the content according to course expectations, he/she will be permitted to retake each of the examinations once without penalty.

After each assessment is taken, the candidate will receive an email within 24 hours indicating his/her score along with possible comments or feedback from the instructor.

This course will consist of two (2) assessments.
Midterm Examination Chapters 1 – 4
Final Examination Chapters 5 – 8
